The “perfect” penis has been discovered by science and it is helping trans men with their bottom surgeries
These results were based on participant input in clinical studies about the physical features that make penises most desirable. The results of this review were based on the input from participants in clinical studies regarding the features that they find most attractive.
Overall, the review revealed that participants preferred penises that had a longer shaft and a head with a moderate size. Additionally, participants preferred that penis width stay the same size rather than becoming gradually thicker or slimmer.

Additionally, medical professionals discovered different preferences from the average population in the study, suggesting that differences in medical training substantially impact the results.
“The ideal phallic esthetic varies by individual, and there were statistically significant preferences across age… and sexual orientation,” wrote lead author Dr. Justin Cordero, along with other collaborators on the study. “This study can serve as a guide on phalloplasties for patients and gender-affirming surgeons.”
The study, published in the journal Urology, asked participants to respond to computer-generated images of different penis sizes and shapes to determine which is deemed to be the most desirable. This study is important because it could help transmasculine people receive life-saving care, and can tailor their phalloplasties according to their individual needs. These results are important because many people do not describe their desired phalloplasty outcome in great detail, including the exact angle of their head. This helps surgeons understand patient preferences and help them decide what they desire, even if the patients are unsure. Majority of the participants were straight but a significant portion was LGBTQ+. Researchers used regression analysis to determine the general trends in the total study population of over 1,000 participants.
